    SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.

    The same people who are always complaining about "SJWs" are the ones who are currently shitting themselves over the fact that Watch Dogs 2 has a black protagonist. And by "shitting themselves", I mean actually crapping their pants in fury.

    Why are we posting nasty things like this with no effort to investigate their veracity?

    Here is some evidence: Four witnesses. Not anonymous sources, but actual witnesses with names who have stepped forward

    Now, four witnesses -- including a current senior Tor employee -- are stepping forward into the public eye, adding valuable insight into how Appelbaum allegedly intimidated those around him to keep accusations of sexual misconduct secret and pressure those who are speaking out to remain anonymous

    Jacob Applebaum is not Tor. His departure will not sink Tor. Tor will continue on without this douche. The NSA isn't taking down Tor by having one programmer resign in shame.

    In the wake of what happened to an actual convicted rapist Brock Turner, it's no wonder that victims are afraid to step forward. Depending on the color and social level of the perpetrator, there's almost no chance of justice and a very large chance that the victim's life will be further destroyed.

    Figure cost-overruns and add 60% for lobbying costs and bribes.

Of course, they will be assembled in China to keep costs down though, so add another 25%.

    If everyone has enough (leaving the definition as an exercise for the reader), why should I care that some people are rich?

    Because maybe one of the reasons everyone doesn't have enough is that it's being siphoned off by a very few at the top.

    http://billmoyers.com/2015/01/...

    For example, the only policy that has worked to raise the "lower bound" is increasing power in the hands of working people via organized labor. The more money that's concentrated at the top, the more they can spend to destroy collective bargaining and unions, which are demonstrably the only thing that have ever worked.
